The Empyrean
November 15th, 2008

The Empyrean is my new record and will be released worldwide via Record Collection on January 20th 2009. It was recorded on and off between December 2006 and March 2008. It is a concept record that tells a single story both musically and lyrically. The story takes place within one person, and there are two characters. It contains a version of Tim Buckley’s, ‘Song To The Siren’ and the rest of the songs are written by me. My friend Josh plays on it, as does Flea. It also features Sonus Quartet, Johnny Marr and The New Dimension Singers. I’m really happy with it and I’ve listened to it a lot for the psychedelic experience it provides. It should be played as loud as possible and it is suited to dark living rooms late at night.

    This should be good, his solo stuff is always interesting at the very least, but I fear for John, tackling Song to the Siren. That song is a colossus. This Mortal Coil's cover was absolutely beautiful, David Lynch said it was the most beautiful vocal performance ever recorded, and I still think it wasn't half the song the original is.

    His covers tend to be excellent though. We'll see John, we'll see :)
